Great stay for 3 nights
Great staff all round. Nice room although a little cramped - next time I’ll book a larger room. Clean place overall and the room was clean. No problems at all.

This is a wonderful hotel. Brilliant location, great rooms, (though somewhat cozy but it’s London!) fabulous bar and reception area, and even has a pool, sauna and steam room!
The staff are exceptional, always friendly and on hand to help.

Lovely hotel in an excellent location.
This hotel was absolutely worth that extra cost. You get so much for your money. Our room had small kitchen and medium refrigerator with all the cooking supplies. The room was clean and comfortable. Every person there was more than happy to advise you on places to go; if you needed help, they gave it to you; they have a pool and a delicious restaurant on site (tomato soup and the cheese sandwich was so good!); and very well maintained. Most importantly, safe.
They are close to shopping and restaurants. Loved this hotel. The hallway carpet is a little mind bending, but it is interesting. Take a photo with the two brass dogs standing guard at the front doors.

Wonderful weekend stay
Loved the apartment - so quiet and relaxing. Only downside was there’s nowhere near a mirror to plug in hairdryer/ straighteners etc.
and bathroom was a little too dark to apply make up, but I would certainly book again, the decor was beautiful and the spa was fantastic! Loved it.

Very relaxing stay
Very easy check-in. Friendly staff. Room surpassed needs. Very quiet room despite being in London. We regularly stay in the city and were pleasantly surprised at how peaceful and relaxing it was. Nice pool and facilities, though, can get busy in afternoon. Would have liked robes to go to pool in but changing facilities at spa very good. We went to Royal Albert Hall and the apartment was only 15 minutes walk away. Many local restaurants/cafes and supermarkets to choose from if you self-cater.

We had the most wonderful experience at the Other House. We stayed in London for a week and this South Kensington location was absolutely perfect. The hotel itself was clean and stunning, the staff was incredibly helpful, and we cannot wait to visit again. This location is close to many restaurants and several museums in the area.

Love It!
My second time staying here and it won't be my last. Absolutely love the rooms, the club areas, the location itself, and the hospitality of everyone who works there. It feels upscale and attentive without being stuffy. Super convenient to tourist areas, but also easy to relax in the area and feel at home. Definitely a home-away-from-home for me when I'm in London. The vibe is somehow both hip and unpretentious, and just really makes me feel at home. Can't wait for my next visit!
